Grillo’s Pickles (whole jar, chopped)
The star of the show! These pickles are fresh, crunchy, and full of that signature briny flavor that makes this dip irresistible.
Fresh Jalapeño (2 tbsp, chopped)
Adds a subtle heat that balances out the creaminess without overpowering the dip.
Green Onions (1 cup, chopped)
Brings freshness and a mild onion flavor that enhances every bite.
Nonfat Greek Yogurt (1.5 cups)
Adds creaminess while keeping things lighter and boosting protein.
Whipped Cream Cheese (8 oz)
Gives the dip its rich, smooth texture and helps everything blend perfectly.
Sour Cream (½ cup)
Adds extra tang and creaminess for that classic dip flavor.
Shredded Cheese (1 cup)
Makes the dip extra indulgent and slightly cheesy in the best way.
Ranch Seasoning Packet (1 pack)
This is where the magic happens — it ties all the flavors together.
Hot Sauce (dash)
Just enough to enhance flavor without making it too spicy.
Pickle Juice (2 tbsp)
Intensifies that tangy pickle flavor and keeps the dip from feeling too thick.

How to Make Viral Grillo’s Pickle Dip

This recipe could not be easier — seriously, it’s almost foolproof.
